AS THIS LATEST EDITION OF WASHINGTON PARK PROFILE HITS YOUR NEWSSTAND, PAUL KASHMANN HANDS OVER THE REINS as publisher after more than 30 years. Kashmann began
his career with The Profile as an advertising sales rep in November
1978, quickly assuming a variety of roles for the then-fledgling publication
before taking on the mantel as publisher in 1983. He leaves The Profile
to run as a candidate to represent District 6 on Denver City Council. Check out
the Publisher’s View on page 2 for Kashmann’s thoughts on the past,
present and future, and meet new publisher Jill Farschman in the article below.
Happy Trails to us all.

There are jobs and then there are
callings. For me, being the publisher of The Profile is
a calling. I’ve been a dedicated reader of the paper since my husband Jay and I
moved to Platt Park in 1996. The high quality editorial content keeps me well
informed about what’s happening at a neighborhood level and advertisements
encourage me to patronize local businesses.

publisher jill farschmAn has been a
resident of the Platt Park neighborhood along with her husband, Jay, since
1996. Farschman brings considerable experience in newspaper publishing and
digital media to her new role, and hopes to build on the foundation laid by
decades of Profile staffers as she shepherds the paper into the brave
new world of print/on-line journalism.

Though the political firestorm of
the fall just past is blessedly fading from memory, there is no rest for the
committed. Election Day approaches once again. On May 5, Denver voters will
state their preference for Mayor, City Auditor, Clerk & Recorder, 13 members of Denver City Council and any issues that find
their way to the ballot by filing deadline.
